PepperZip Removal Guide

Do you know what PepperZip is?

PepperZip is a potentially unwanted program that Windows users may install packaged with VuuPC, IdleCrawler, and various other ad-supported programs or PUPs. If you are not familiar with the program or any of the related applications, you should not install it, no matter how attractive the services may be. If you proceed with the installation, you will not only need to delete PepperZip, but a malicious, clandestine Trojan as well. A malicious malware dropper will be installed without your notice, and it could remain silent for a long time, even after you remove the useless PepperZip.

If PepperZip has not entered the operating system using a software bundle, it is most likely that you have downloaded it yourself from pepperware.net. Even though the PUP is presented as a free program, you will be asked to pay a $14 fee for the so-called “unlimited” version. Should you upgrade PepperZip? Malware researchers working in our internal lab do not recommend this. Even though the application created by the PepperWare Co.Ltd. is not malicious, the Trojan associated with it could be harmful. It is quite possible that the infection will be operated as a malware dropper, which means that it could install more computer threats. It is much more troublesome to delete Trojans and other clandestine infections than to remove PepperZip itself. This is the main reason why we do not recommend installing PepperZip. Is the application already active? Then delete the PUP and hunt down the active threats.PepperZip screenshotScroll down for full removal instructions
